O Come, O Come Emmanuel
Words: Latin; trans. John Mason Neale (v 1-2), 1851, Henry Sloane Coffin (v 3), 1916
Tune: VENI EMMANUEL, adapted by Thomas Helmore, 1854

O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.

Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death's dark shadows put to flight.

Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Desire of nations, bind
All peoples in one heart and mind;
Bid envy, strife, and discord cease,
Fill the whole world with heaven's peace.

Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.
